*We fade in to the scene to see an interview room with the OG-Joshi and UBL banners in the background and two chairs set up. In one chair is hapless interviewer "Mean" Jean Carter and directly facing her is the UBL and OG-Joshi Owner, OrochiGeese. Both are dressed professionally but appear a bit on edge.*
Jean: "First off..uh, first of all...let me say it is an honor to be interviewing you, sir."
OG: "I granted you this interview for my purposes, not yours. Let's get on with it."
*Jean gulps and starts referring to her notes*
Jean: "This is a two part interview and, if I may, I'd like to start with OG-Joshi. Specifically with what happened at the OG-Joshi Limit Break main event last night."
OG: "I believe that Orochi Army member Holly successfully defended her Championship."
Jean: "Yes, but what about the events at the CONCLUSION of that match."
OG: "I believe Alicia Gordon was about one man away from facing a premature end to her career."
Jean: "We'll get to the issues between you and Thunder Strike a little bit later on, but what I wanted to ask you was the relationship between you and General Celes."
OG: "Contrary to internet reports, there is absolutely no change in the relationship between me and the General. We have nothing but respect for each other. However, ever since Celes came back at the end of 2005, it has been clear that she aims to eliminate Holly. That is not a surprise to me."
Jean: "Do you think you have put Celes in a tough position though? On one hand, you recently ensured her that she'd have total power in OG-Joshi to do what she wanted. On the other hand, you interfer-"
OG: "Arrived. I ARRIVED at the end of the match for a show that I owned and paid for. Little pissants like Jason Hyde "interfere", but I go where I please in my arena."
Jean: "Sorry, sorry! I uh...I meant when you 'arrived'. When you did so...it clearly sent the message that Celes was not given the power you promised her...isn't that putting her in a tough position?"
OG: "I don't break my promises, Miss Carter. A few weeks ago, I assured Celes that she would have the power to make ANY match she wanted, arrange the show ANY way she wished for now on. I would not get in the way of how she runs things backstage. But it is I who have been put in the 'tough position' you mentioned. Because now I must the balance the goal of letting OG-Joshi run as Celes intends it while also ensuring the health of my close friend and ally, Holly. How do you think I feel watching her be seconds away from a career ending injury every time that lunatic Alicia Gordon is near her?"
Jean: "Less then happy?"
OG: "Did you SEE what she did to that tart girl...Cindy Merton, or whatever her name is? Did you see the attack with the chair? It is CLEAR that Miss Gordon is out of control!"
*Jean takes a deep breath*
Jean: "With all due respect sir, isn't it a bit 'hypocritical' for YOU to imply someone else is out of control considering your history of violence and uh, 'chaos'?"
*OG grins*
OG: "That was a tough question, Miss Carter, I'm impressed."
Jean: "R..really?"
OG: "Yes, I see why Celes hired you. Now, as to your assertion, it is not hypocrisy, it is pure self-interest: the highest value one can have. You see, I care nothing of the violent tendencies of other people UNTIL it affects my interests. For example, it amused me to watch Mr. Clyde's girlfriend Kat beat Crimson-"
*Jean's eyes go wide*
Jean: "Excuse me sir? But did you just say that Kat Black is Clyde's girlfriend!? WHAT A SCOOP!?"
OG: "Isn't she? That's what Mr. Figaro told me."
*Jean frowns and scribbles out what she just wrote furiously on her notepad*
Jean: "Nevermind. I suspect journalist are more skeptical about sources then billionaires."
OG: "Get back to your point please."
Jean: "So you believe that your 'arrival' last night was not in any way a deprivation of Celes' power?"
OG: "Indeed. And Celes may make any match with Holly that she desires. But everyone is on notice that if they attempt to end Holly's career, I will do the same to theirs. In fact, I am a bit reluctant to admit this, but if you want an example of the PROPER way to face Holly, that McLanahan girl set it."
Jean: "You mean, Jenny?"
OG: "Yes, yes, whatever her name. And it pains me to give her ANY credit as SHE is the reason that her brother Twinky is not currrently crippled and drinking out of a straw for the rest of his life thanks to Jenny preventing a certain "Avalanche Chaos Infinity Hammer" from occurring a few years back."
Jean: "So it's ok that you tried to cripple Twinky but it's NOT ok that Alicia is trying to do the same to Holly!? That makes no sense!"
OG: "Don't make me repeat myself, Miss Carter, you were doing so well too. *OG sighs* The constant in my thought process is pure self-interest. That is the only value that matters in this world. Stopping me from crippling an enemy is BAD, but stopping someone from crippling my ally is GOOD."
Jean: "Ok, so basically you won't interfere in any of Holly's matches if she's not in any physical danger. Jenny didn't want to hurt her, just tried to DEFEAT her. And you're ok with that kind of motive."
OG: "I have always told Holly that the way for her to be the best is to rely on herself in her matches. It is that self-reliance that has caused her to be nothing short of a MARVEL in the ring. We all saw what she has done over the last year and I could not possibly be any more proud of her then I am right now."
Jean: "She was pretty close to losing to Jenny..."
OG: "Close means nothing. The match is only over when either the referee or the loser's hand taps the mat 3 times. Anything until then is speculation, if not outright baited mind games. Yes, perhaps Holly was legitimately in trouble until that final 'Loser's Lunch,' or perhaps she suckered Jenny in. Frankly, I don't care. What matters is that her health was not in danger until Miss Gordon returned to the ring and tried to punish her further after the match. And that is the kind of behavior I will not sit back and allow."
Jean: "Now at this point, we know that General Celes is planning on having Holly face Alicia Gordon in the near future. What would be your advice to the General to ensure that your participation is not necessary?"
OG: "It is simple. If Holly is intentionally put into a helpless position where Alicia then violently attacks her, then I will rip her head off."
*Jean's eyes bug out* "OMIGAWSH! Alicia's or Celes'!?"
OG: "Alicia's. But if it comes to that point, then Celes' role in OG-Joshi will be under review as well."
Jean: "And how is THAT not forcing the hand of Celes or threatening her role as match maker?"
OG: "I am not doing anything of the sort. Just offering a simple "if to then" situation. Celes has the freedom to make any match she wants right now, but I suggest she does it with the knowledge I have just given her. After all, no one has absolute freedom from repercussions, Miss Carter. 'Cause and effect' is the one rule everyone, even I, must adhere to in this world. Celes is no stranger to that constant either."
Jean: "Well it looks like we know where you stand. Do you have any other comments about the PPV?"
OG: "Celes did a fine job in putting it together. I was less then happy to see a certain wrestler win the Battle Royale for obvious reasons, but so be it. Also, that Byrne girl impressed me, she has potential."
Jean: "You know she talks about 'chaos' a lot, right?"
*OG smirks*
OG: "I assure you that fact is not lost on me, Miss Carter."
Jean: "Well if we are done speaking about OG-Joshi, I'd like to ask you a few questions about UBL."
OG: "Proceed."
